What's really been going on

Going back and reading my previous blogs, I notice that they are all intended for words of encouragement. They make it sound that I have my perfect little life all put together. Well, here a news flash for you. My life is not peas and carrots, or tea and honey, take your pick. The things that I write in this blogs are my struggles, I am writing these blogs for myself, as a journal if you will, but I am making them available to anyone who wants to read them. But please don’t assume that everything in my life is going peachy keen. I am a human, and a sinner, just like everyone else on this planet. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 I make just as many mistakes, and I screw up the same as anybody else. I am still terribly disgusted with my prayer life. I am doing great at work, my work life have been life changing because of my prayer life. But at home is a different story. When I am at home, there are no problems, all that I have is love for my family. I play with my kids, and talk to Jane about her day, and they typical stuff that that husbands and wives talk about. Our home life is a perfect word, with virtually no problems. There are no distractions, no conflicts. So what’s wrong with that. It’s because things are going so well, that I don’t feel the need to think about or rely on God. Sure I spend the first hour to hour in a half with my bible every day, but than for the next 6 hours until I goto work, nothing. I hardly think about God. That’s what the problem is. When we are distracted in life from trials, and problems, and dead end jobs, and chaos, we turn to God for comfort, patience, and understanding. But when things are going our way, and life is going great, we leave God on the sidelines, and he sits on the bench until the enemy starts to win, than we call God in for defense. When life is going great, this is need we need to be thanking God for His glory, and His peace, and His love. Things at home are going great because God is good, God has blest my family more than I will ever know. But do I spend my time at home worshiping God and giving his thanks for everything that He has done in my life. No, well, at least not nowhere near enough. That is my struggle, even though I have made a huge conscience effort over the last month to do better in prayer, I am still a work in progress. So there you have it, I am a work in progress, but so are we all, but be encouraged today, because even though we all fall short, God still loves us. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, and whoever so believes in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
